Los empleados de OpenAI afirman que la empresa no está preocupada por la seguridad

‍

Un grupo de trabajadores empleados anteriormente y actualmente en OpenAI dicen la verdad sobre la «cultura de la imprudencia y el secreto» dentro de la empresa.

‍
Los expertos afirman que OpenAI no ha hecho lo suficiente para evitar que su IA se vuelva peligrosa.

‍

William Saunders, un ingeniero de investigación que dejó OpenAI en febrero, dijo esto durante su partida: «Cuando me inscribí en OpenAI, no me apunté a esta actitud de 'saquemos las cosas al mundo y veamos qué pasa y solucionémoslas después'».

‍

Saunders y otros afirman que OpenAI ha utilizado tácticas legales, como acuerdos de no desprecio, para evitar que los trabajadores expresen su preocupación por la tecnología.

‍

OpenAI se está volviendo codicioso y está trabajando imprudentemente para desarrollar la «AGI» (Inteligencia General Artificial), el término industrial para una computadora que es capaz de hacer cualquier cosa que un humano pueda hacer.

‍

La semana pasada informamos que su nuevo Comité de Seguridad está dirigido por su CEO, Sam Altman, lo que supone un evidente conflicto de intereses y solo refuerza estas afirmaciones, lo que sugiere que OpenAI se centra en el progreso y las ganancias, más que en la protección.

Nueva Zelanda prohíbe los teléfonos en las escuelas

‍

Para empezar, una buena noticia es que Nueva Zelanda ha emitido nuevas regulaciones sobre los estudiantes y los teléfonos inteligentes en las escuelas. Todo el país está adoptando una estrategia de «salir por un día». Esta es su declaración:

‍

«El reglamento exige que las escuelas se aseguren de que los estudiantes no usen ni accedan a un teléfono mientras asisten a la escuela, incluso durante la hora del almuerzo y los descansos. Esto incluye a los estudiantes que están cursando un curso escolar o que hacen visitas fuera del recinto escolar».

‍

Los estudiantes pueden tener acceso para usar sus dispositivos cuando:

• Se requiere un teléfono por motivos de salud
• Se necesita un teléfono para apoyar a un estudiante con una discapacidad o dificultad de aprendizaje
• Un profesor indica a los alumnos que usen los teléfonos para una tarea educativa específica
  ‍

El director determina que hay circunstancias especiales que justifican el uso del teléfono, como que un estudiante sea un padre adolescente.

‍

Fuera de esos casos específicos, ya sea entre clases, durante el almuerzo o incluso durante los descansos, ¡no hay teléfonos!

Esto es ideal para los cerebros jóvenes que no necesitan las distracciones constantes (a menudo de nosotros como padres) que vienen con sus teléfonos. Para obtener más información sobre los beneficios de estrategias como esta para salir de casa, visita phonefreeschools.com

Apple TV streaming device parental controls are called Restrictions and are governed by a 4-digit PIN. For iPhone users who have used Screen Time, this will sound familiar. Follow these steps:

‍

1. Using the Apple TV remote, select the Settings app at the bottom of the Home Screen.
2. In the Settings Menu, ​select General from the list of options shown.
3. In the General Menu, ​select Restrictions from the list of options shown.
4. In the Restrictions Menu, ​select Restrictions to turn it on, and then enter a 4-digit PIN (passcode). Re-enter those numbers once more to confirm, then select OK to continue (don’t forget this number!).
5. Within this same Restrictions Menu are options to customize access to multiple features, including purchases, movies, apps, music, podcasts, ratings, and more. It’s worth the time to click through them all and set the desired preferences.

‍

Separately, parents will want to set parental controls on third-party channels accessed through the Apple TV. The channels below are simply using the Apple TV as another exit point for their content. Therefore it’s entirely up to parents to ensure the accounts on each of these streaming apps are set up appropriately.The great thing is, if you get the controls set up correctly at the APP level below, then no matter how you access them – Apple TV, a smart TV, a tablet, etc. – the controls will help create a safer digital experience.

‍

• Netflix
• Disney+
• Roku
• Amazon (just scroll down a little here until you see it!)
• Hulu
• VUDU
• Sling TV
• HBO Now (regular HBO)
• (HBO) Max (includes additional titles, e.g., Warner Brothers).
• YouTube: Make sure Restricted Mode is set at the router level. Your router is the most important digital device in your home! Check out the image below for more information.
• Twitch (now streams on smart TVs, too!)

Roku Parental Controls

‍

We’ve already created a highly-utilized Roku parental controls write-up (used by >1,o00 people weekly).

‍

Chromecast Parental Controls

‍

Chromecast doesn’t have parental controls because it doesn’t need them. It’s just an HDMI adapter that lets you stream computer content directly to your TV wirelessly. This means you’ll need to set parental controls at the operating system level of whatever type of computer you’re using and at the account level for streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, and others.

‍

Links to streaming services like Netflix are above under the Apple TV section. Links to operating system parental controls and a few other streaming services you might watch are here:

‍

• Windows (PC) parental controls
• MacBooks parental controls
• Chromebook parental controls
• Disney + Parental Controls

‍

Amazon Parental Controls

‍

There are multiple layers to consider regarding Amazon and parental controls:

‍

• The Amazon Prime Video app on just about anything (smart TV, Android, iOS, Xbox, 360, Web)
• An actual Fire TV, and making sure overall access to the TV and its functions is controlled, often with a 5-digit passcode.
• Fire Tablets
• A smart TV that uses an Amazon Fire Stick

‍

It’s a lot, I know! No worries. Here is how you set up each of these Amazon layers.

‍

How to set up Parental Controls in Prime Video:

‍

First, you’ll need to establish a 5-digit, Amazon Video pin. This is important since the Prime Video app can be accessed through so many different devices, as shown above. Once you set up a PIN for Prime Video, it is enforced across all devices.How to set your 5-digit Prime Video pin through a web browser:

‍

1. Log into your Amazon account through a web browser.
2. Select the Prime Video from the “All” option in the left menu (see the image below).
3. Click the Settings gear in the upper right corner (see image below).
4. You’ll see Parental Controls on the top.
5. Then select what you want! There are options for Viewing Restrictions and you can ensure that purchases require your PIN (See below). Pay close attention to all of the devices at the bottom where the Amazon credentials are being used!

‍

‍

You can set up the 5-digit PIN from the Prime Video app on mobile and other devices, but it’s easier from the desktop. In case you’re curious:

‍

• Set up a Prime Video PIN on Android
• Set up a Prime Video PIN on iOS

‍

How to set up Parental Controls on a Fire TV:

‍

• On the Fire TV homepage, go to Settings.
• Within Settings, go to the menu item Preferences.
• Select Parental Controls.
• To enable parental controls, enter your PIN.
• Select a level of viewing restrictions to restrict the playback of videos across all apps with certain age ratings.

‍

How to set up Parental Controls on a Fire Tablet:

‍

We cover the step-by-step instructions in our Complete Fire Guide for parents!

‍

How to set up Parental Controls on a Device using a Fire Stick:

‍

Great news! The Fire Stick just accesses your Prime Video account via your home wireless network, often in a situation where you have a flatscreen TV that isn’t “smart.” This means that by following step #1, establishing controls over your Prime Video account with the 5-digit pin, you’re all set!

‍

Fire TV Gaming: Fortnite can be played right on Fire TV as long as you have a Prime membership or a Luna+ subscription. Important to keep track of what else might be happening on your TV!

‍

After you’ve mastered parental controls for your streaming device, it’s time for popcorn, soda, and time with family!
